Bean looks at recent examples of the hazards of these systems, including false alarms and lack of use during emergencies. Bean interviews public officials, corporate executives, experts, and citizens about the systems and provides an in-depth analysis of how the public alert system currently functions and how it could be improved. Bean also offers three cases that demonstrate the relevance of research about public alert systems.
